    That's how I remember it also.

    One abbreviation I missed is RTFM. It's mostly used on other forums where people are less polite.

    RTFM : Read The Fucxxxx Manual.

    hi wandering how life is in durban ?

    kind regards eob

     

    Its great thanks. Beautiful weather, beautiful beaches. Lovey houses with big gardens. I love it here. I really can't complain except that there aren't enough B&O's here. They only re-entered the South African market a couple of years ago, but they are doing really well. So people in Durban "BUY B&O!!!"

    Re: What does ******* mean?

    An acronym frequently used in my neck of the woods is TLA (Three Letter Acronym) as this appears to be the most popular type. If you forgot the acronym used you can always refer to "TLA"

    Hi, Andy.

    Yes, but I can edit the ones to which I am replying -- see the example of your quoted post.  I was trying to do that when replying to Medogsfat but failed.  Guess I am still a dinosauer when it comes to understanding modern day technology.

    Hi Wings, yes we probobly set a record here and at least tested the system to destruction levels so it was quite a good technical exercise in the endLaughing

    To edit quotes you need to keep the closing brackets of the opening quote and the delete any information you don't want to appear in between there and the opening brackets of the closing quote - hope this makes some sense.Tongue Tied
